Effective innovation sprints: The basics of becoming an innovation sprint master

Innovation sprint masters are experts who help businesses organize and facilitate innovation sprints that can generate essential commercial value to address market changes. They identify potential threats, weaknesses, and ambiguities in the company's innovation capacities, examine preconceptions that may be impeding growth, and distinguish regions of ambiguities. They help organizations develop relevant knowledge, acquire new skills, and save resources. An ideal innovation sprint master possesses the characteristics of understanding and overcoming crucial obstacles, identifying weaknesses, examining preconceptions, strengthening business ideas for decision-making purposes, increasing engagement and buy-in, enhancing the morale of employees, and helping employees develop skills. A successful innovation sprint can be conducted by inviting the right participants, establishing the mission, and focusing on end-users.
